**About me** Hi there! I'm Leigh, a longtime animal lover and pet owner. My husband and I have two 6-year old tabby cats, Sasha & Bougie. Although I'm yearning for a pup of my own, our condo prohibits dogs. Luckily for me, your doggo is pretty darn cute, and I'd love the chance to walk, cuddle, and spoil her! **About my home/services** I work from home and have flexible hours, so I am able to check-in on and/or walk pets during the daytime. I am also available many nights and weekends. I do have a car, which allows me to access most areas nearby. **About my neighborhood** I live in Southwest D.C., which gives me proximity to most of the district as well as parts of Northern Virginia. It is a very walkable, residential area (with many squirrels for chasing, to boot). **What to expect** Besides cuddling (obviously), I will be excited to play with your dog/cat as well as take your dog (..or cat) out on adventures such as walks or to the park. While I typically prefer long walks on the beach, I also enjoy long walks through DC/NOVA. **Special rules or requests** I do not currently have any special needs or preferences, but they may emerge on a case-by-case basis. NOTE: Because I am a lifelong cat owner, I am especially intuitive of their needs, moods, and behaviors.
